We talked about Blaze with Tonie Christine, the one-day business intensive put on by our friend Tonie at her home in Woodinville, and we shared about how that came to life here, but today, we're going to talk more about the design and details for the shoot, and then we're going to show off a talented photographer's photos from that day.

We knew we wanted to design to be three things:

1 // Something each photographer could use on their website, blog, and social media.

2 // Reflective of Tonie's style.

3 // Reflective of our style.

Choosing the color palette was a no-brainer for us: black, white, gold, and lots of greenery. And guess what? That lends itself PERFECTLY to Tonie's branding, which went well with our biggest goal, which was to make sure it was something every single photographer would be able to use these photographs in a myriad of ways. We wanted to keep neutral enough, and simple enough that it would fit with each of their styles. And if you haven't notice, "gorgeous" is our style ;) and luckily for us, that comes in a multitude of designs, so we were more than happy with the vibe of the shoot.

The photographers started at a specific station, and then rotated through. And friends, the light was JUST right! That golden hour light was peaking through the woods creating beautiful angles and soft tones.

So we showed you Tonie's images, but now we want you to take a look at the shoot from another perspective and another perspective. Jaimie J Photo really stunned us with her work so much so that we knew we had to share it. So take a look, and then get over to her instagram and show her some love! Plus, she just launched her new website (eeeeeek) and her and her husband's cinematography site.

Ever get frustrated? Well that was us. We wanted to style this beautiful wedding invitation suite, but we just couldn't get it. Then, a couple people starting standing around watching and the pressure was on. Talk about stress.

Okay, but in all seriousness, what stresses you out? We talk about our last month on the blog today and we get vulnerable for a minute. Having two family members facing medical issues is not easy, but we have each other and tons of incredible memories--more than most people get in a lifetime.

Holy shit! In just over a month we head to Palm Springs to shoot for @apostropheandco with two badass boss babes, @samanthamcfarlen and @roguestyling and we. are. so. excited. Like. So. Excited.

This is what our weekend looked like. How about yours?

We celebrated Ashley's mom on Friday with a dinner party as she retired from being the office manager at our local dental practice. Between the drinks and the tears and the company, it was such a great night.

Shoutout to the vendors who made it possible: @uniquechicrentals and @grandeventrentals.
